Overview of the Securities Market

Certain business entities have the option to raise capital for business operations through selling ownership in the venture $($equity$)$ to investors who hope to receive a return on their investment based on the profitability of the company. Businesses may also raise capital by issuing debt instruments to public investors that desire a fixed rate of return that is not pegged to profits. The issuance and trading of equities and debt instruments to public investors is highly regulated by securities law.
